Normal Oil Consumption in 996?

[tan1894]

I'm a new Porsche owner (2004 911 C2) with low miles. Can anyone give me a sense of what "normal" oil consumption is? Car has no oil leaks (yet).

Thanks.

To be within Porsche's specification the consumption rate is 1.6 qts (1.5 liters) per 625 miles (1,000 km).

I never need to add any oil between oil changes (approx 7,500 miles) and consider this to be normal. This is true for many other owners too. While others add a quart here and a quart there, and still consider this to be normal.

I have low miles C2. I'd say no more than 0.2 litre every 1000 miles. Mine has used 1 litre only between services...

I've had the 996 C2, a 930 and the 996TT...and from the standpoint of oil consumption, the 3.4 litre 996 used less oil than any of the others....I could go a good 3,000 miles with little or no noticeable consumption....then I moved into the turbo class and the oil consumption increased dramatically....but you're pushing a lot more power and torque...along with the turbo so it's in the nature of the beast.
